Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sittingbourne
A dusty duct in a building in Sittingbourne is more than an eyesore. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. If you have ductwork with too few access panels to clean and supply ducts with years of dust inside, we can help.
In Sittingbourne, ventilation in schools and offices is cleaned when the building is quiet: out of hours, at weekends or during the holidays.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why act early in Sittingbourne
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. A small fault found now is a quick job; the same fault found later can close the site.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- We’re fully insured
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
Common questions in Sittingbourne
Can you come to Sittingbourne after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Sittingbourne doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clean school ventilation in Sittingbourne during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 24 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Sittingbourne. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team to keep disruption down.
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. A few photos of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Sittingbourne.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
